Riddling Contest between Solomon and a Dwarf

Written in Arabic. Traded by Harald to the Bab al-Nasr, who in turn sold it to Eorl for a mint.

   Questions the dwarf asked Solomon. [A series of riddles, each more abstruse than the last, 
   until it ends with:]
   
   Q: What was the name Achilles used when he hid among the women?
   A: Bathyrrha
   
   Q: What became of the knowledge of Ikulu?
   A: First she gave the secrets to her priests of the one born of stone, but she feared lest 
   they disperse. So some she buried in her horn or in her new city, but she feared lest they 
   be dug up and destroyed. So some she left with her daughter that lived, for she loved her 
   above all others. But the daughter was hidden far away, and she feared lest none should 
   ever find her, for to get the body one must have the body. So she put all her knowledge in 
   a song and taught it to the children, for their memories are longest, such that even if 
   things should be lost or destroyed or exterminated, still the song would remain, and for 
   those with wisdom it would point the way. But some say the song itself has been forgotten, 
   or many of its verses, or that it has been garbled and jumbled, and that its wisdom is now 
   folly, or is a darkness no light can penetrate.
   
   Q: What knowledge did she lack?
   A: The knowledge of Mardok.
   
   Q: Who took the knowledge of Mardok?
   A: My children.
   
   Q: Where did they take it? 
   A: Only the Morkoth know, and I know not.
   
   And therefore the Dwarf was victorious.
